German people and the emperor, and adds:
sIf we expose these effronteries of the French

them to criticism, but simply to add to the
extenaive documents which will one day give
evidence Of the calm patience with which
Germany has borne for years, the most in

Convict Fish.

WASHINGTON, March 2s -.All the papers
bearing upon the application for the pardon
of James D. Fish are lying upon the presi-
dents table They have been there for nearly
a week. They are very numerous, and il the
president examines them carefully, and this
he invariably does iii even the most ordinary
cases, it IS not probable his decision will be
reached for some days The president finds
little time to devote to the consideration Of
pardon cases except In the evening. The Of
fics-seekers and the routine work Of his Office
make this q necessity. The papers went TO
the president direct from the attorney gem
eral. What Mr. Garland's recommendation
was can only be conjectured. but the indorse-
ment is believed to be favorable to pardon.
The presidents conclusion Is, of course, a
matter OF speculation. The friends OF the
imprisoned banker, however, say now
that the appointment announced Of q
minister to Turkey makes them confident the
president viii be lenient toward the old gem
tleman.

QUEBEC, March THE city is all excite,
ment over an outrage committed last night.
While the French portion Of the Salvation
Army were at worship In the Jeffrey Hale
School hall, an explosion occurred In front
Of the building and Immediately underneath
window from which pane Of glass was
missing. The explosion completely wrecked
the front OF the building, filled it with smoke
and extinguished the gas, leaving the place
In utter darkness.
The inmates were nearly frightened to
death, the women fainting and screaming and
the men rushing to and fro in the greatest
excitement, unable to realize what had really
occurred When an investigation could be
made IL was discovered that no one had been
killed, but that two or three had been seri
o,sly injured. 1t seems almost q miracle
that the building was not entirely blown to
pieces and all the inmates killed It Is con-
jectnred that the intention was to have the
bomb exploded inside the building, and that
IL was dropped by the villain while he was
attempting to get Il through the broken pane
The conspIrators are believed to be young
men belonging to the higher class.

WASHINGTON, March ~ Col. Morrison Is
beginning to feel lonesome. He is the onyL
member of the interstate board in the city,
and his advices to-day are that none Of the
others may be expected before the latter part
of next week There will be some difficulty
in finding suitable quarters for the commits
sion. There is no room in the interior de-
partnlent for them and the pension building,
which, when completed, will be large enough
to accommod tie half q dozen ordinary
bureaus, is still in an unfinished condition,
and cannot be more tenantable than at pres
emit for number Of months to come. The
members Of the commission object to re-
moval after they once become domiciled, and
for this reason are anxious to secure per-
manent location at the outset. 1t is desira-
Bile also that this location should be central
one, and there is some talk Of renting one Of
the houses in the vicinity of Fourteenth and
Ell streets, which the civil service conf -iission
tried to secure for its headquarters. The
matter of location rests primarily with the
secretary Of the interior, but it Is very proba-
BILE that the wishes OF the commission will
not be disregarded. s

Further Particulars Regarding the
Disaster Om the Tomb bee.
MOBILE. Ala, March News of the
burning of the steamer Gardner is coming
slowly. The fire was discovered by Capt.
the burning bale, and in throwing another
bucket full his clothes caught fire. Panic
stricken he ran from place to place setting
fire to cotton bales, and in few moments
the boat was in flames all over. She was
in mid stream and in motion. The pilots
were driven from the wheel and the crew
and passengers jumped overheard. Those
lost were drowned. 1t is not thought that
more than one or two were burned to
death. Capt. Stone saved himself by
swimming ashore. The steamer Tally was
behind the Gardner waiting TO pass. AS
Tally lowered her boats and threw
over bales and seed sacks and panks to
help the people jumping from the Gardner.
The heat was so intense that the Tally did
not dare to go near, but her boats picked
up number of the people. Had it not
been for the presence of the Tally but few
would have been saved. When the fire
broke out the Gardner was ordered to run
ashore. She backed and bells were ringing
for going ahead, but the engineers were
driven from their post by the flames. and
the boat drifted to the opposite side of the
river, where there was no pretentiopable
landing. The pilot is much praised for his
heroism for sticking to his post till the
flames licked the pilot house. The cabin
boy of the Tally named Barber, colored,
performed heroic deeds in saving five lives,
which he did by swimming ashore with
those in the water. The screams of those
on the boat were heartrending. Mrs. W.
T. Rembent threw one child into the water,
her husband taking the other two. Then
she jumped in. All but her husband were
drowned Mrs. julie Rembert was also on
board. but was saved from drowning. She
is at Demopolis, and is in precarious con-
dition. The boat was not insured, and is
valued at $4,000 The cotton was insured
for $23, 900.
